Maison Barbier French Space Age Style Metal Table Lamp (Without Lampshade)
About the Item
Please read the entire description carefully, as we aim to provide you with detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This elegant burnished metal lamp features a cube-shaped base that supports a perfect round, lenticular geometric figure via a nickel-plated and brushed brass fitting. Above it is another tubular, flared brass fitting, topped with the light point. The overall design is aesthetically linear and pleasing. This lamp was made in France by Maison Barbier between 1960 and 1965. Maison Barbier was a small factory located in the heart of Paris, on Rue du Pré aux Clercs, near Boulevard Saint-Germain. Founded and directed by Philippe Barbier, it was a Parisian company known for its lighting and furniture creations in the 1960s and 1970s. Philippe Barbier, a renowned 20th-century designer, is recognized for his craftsmanship and innovative designs. While he designed various pieces of furniture and tables, he became famous for his original lamps. With their innovative, unusual, and timeless shapes, these lamps became popular worldwide and are still beloved by collectors. Philippe Barbier's lamps were appreciated not only for their unique design but also for the quality of their materials and craftsmanship. His creations featured elegant curves and distinctive shapes that made them popular for both domestic use and film productions. Notably, famous film directors often used Barbier's lamps on their sets. Philippe Barbier's most iconic lamps are distinguished by the fine materials used, such as chrome-plated and burnished steel and travertine. His lamps combine neoclassical design elements with a modern, spatial touch, resulting in elegant and timeless pieces. Our lamp features a modern and contemporary design, essential yet refined—a unique piece of furniture that is both elegant and sophisticated. As you can see in the photo, in addition to this one in burnished metal, we have another identical in shape but made of travertine, which is much heavier (also visible on this platform). The lamp is in good condition and is supplied without a lampshade. The electrical system is new, but the wiring is European; voltage compatibility in other countries should always be checked by an electrician before use. Measurements: Width: 21 cm, Depth: 12 cm, Height: 59 cm. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.

Philippe Barbier
Master craftsman Philippe Barbier created table lamps used on the sets of many French films, as well as furniture and decor like coffee tables and candle holders. The furniture designer and producer worked in Paris throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He was known for using steel to make his pieces shine.
Barbier operated a small studio called Maison Barbier in central Paris, on rue du Pré aux Clercs. In addition to making his own furniture, he sold the work of other designers. Most notably, Maison Barbier was the first to distribute the iconic 1968 Tam-Tam stool by French designer Henry Massonnet. Barbier was also involved in the design of the stool, which is still in production today.
Barbier’s lamps were very popular for their unique designs, which often featured elegant curves and bases made of stone or polished metal. Their striking shapes caught the attention of many film directors. Just some of the films in which Barbier’s lamps make a background appearance are Le Retour du Grand Blond (1974), Peur Sur La Ville (1975), Nous Irons Tous Au Paradis (1977), Le Mac (2010) and Dans La Maison (2012).
